=== S2 Statements ===

An S2 Statement is a proposition which groups objects or concepts and the semantic relationships between them into definite claims. The simplest kind of S2 Statement is a declarative claim assigning one thing to be the same as another: <strong>Golden Freddy</strong> <i>is</i> <strong>Cassidy</strong>. If there is considerable doubt that this claim is an objective fact about something that everyone can verify or confirm, it should not be casually put on a specific Z1 or S1 Item as if it is physical reality. At the same time, if a particular claim has been repeated many times, the claim is fully worth recording as its own entity — an entity we know as <i>a possibly-true but uncertain claim</i>. An S2 Statement can be an unproved mathematics conjecture, a scientific hypothesis, a fan theory about a fictional media series, a philosophical or ideological statement which is difficult to scientifically substantiate at the present time, a truly unfalsifiable statement made up to troll philosophers which still probably can be broken down into other statements that characterize what it is, a popular conspiracy theory, or any number of other possible kinds of statements which assert something to be true either in the real world or some hypothetical space. In the case of conspiracy theories and harmful reactionary beliefs, it is advisable that the statement be worded in the way that least promotes belief in the statement, such that it becomes obvious that the content of the entry will be focused on showing in what verifiable ways it is not true. Any especially debunked statement may be classified as an F2 Statement.
